Texas A&M University's beloved mascot, Reveille, the spirited collie who has captured the hearts of Aggies fans for years, is now facing a health challenge. The university confirmed that Reveille has been diagnosed with glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
A Beloved Symbol of Tradition
Reveille is more than just a mascot—she's a living symbol of Texas A&M's rich traditions. As the highest-ranking member of the Corps of Cadets, she attends classes, football games, and university events, always greeted with enthusiasm by students and alumni alike.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often caused by abnormally high pressure in the eye. While it can lead to vision loss, early detection and treatment can help manage the condition. The university's veterinary team is providing Reveille with the best possible care.
Outpouring of Support
The Aggie community has rallied behind Reveille, with fans sharing messages of support on social media. "Reveille isn't just a dog—she's family," one alum tweeted. The university has assured fans that updates on her condition will be provided as they become available.
Reveille's Legacy
Since the first Reveille took her place as mascot in 1931, these special collies have become synonymous with Texas A&M spirit. The current Reveille, Reveille X, continues this proud tradition, serving as a living reminder of the university's values and camaraderie.
